abstract
The fact that one can associate thermodynamic properties with horizons brings together principles of quantum theory, gravitation and thermodynamics and possibly offers a window to the nature of quantum geometry. This review discusses certain aspects of this topic concentrating on new insights gained from some recent work. After a brief introduction of the overall perspective, Sections 2 and 3 provide the pedagogical background on the geometrical features of bifurcation horizons, path integral derivation of horizon temperature, black hole evaporation, structure of Lanczos-Lovelock models, the concept of Noether charge and its relation to horizon entropy. Section 4 discusses several conceptual issues introduced by the existence of temperature and entropy of the horizons. In Section 5 we take up the connection between horizon thermodynamics and gravitational dynamics and describe several peculiar features which have no simple interpretation in the conventional approach. The next two sections describe the recent progress achieved in an alternative perspective of gravity. In Section 6 we provide a thermodynamic interpretation of the field equations of gravity in any diffeomorphism invariant theory and in Section 7 we obtain the field equations of gravity from an entropy maximization principle. The last section provides a summary.

Eckart heat flux holds for all timelike scalar configurations in F(Φ,X)R + G theories if and only if F_X ≡ 0, reducing the theory to a Jordan-like subclass of Horndeski.
Scalar-tensor gravity admits a frame-invariant perfect-fluid description with zero temperature, so that general relativity corresponds to diffusive equilibrium for both minimal and nonminimal theories.

An off-shell Hessian criterion H = S'_W(r_h) T'(r_h) governs thermodynamic stability of higher-curvature black holes, recovering the temperature-slope rule on physical branches and producing mean-field critical exponents.

Kaniadakis entropic cosmology modifies early-universe dynamics and is constrained by its predictions for Starobinsky inflation and the primordial tensor spectrum using current CMB and gravitational-wave observations.
Hamilton-Jacobi analysis of slow-roll inflation with non-Bekenstein-Hawking entropies yields fitted entropy parameters (δ≈1.1-1.2, α∼10^{-14}, K∼10^{-17}) consistent with ns and r data.
Quantum gravity corrections via GUP, EUP, GEUP and LQGUP make the maximum entropic force depend on the uncertainty principles' dimensionless parameters and, for EUP, on the number of Planck areas composing the effective area.
A two-parameter extension of Bekenstein entropy is applied to derive the Friedmann equations and confirm thermodynamic consistency for an accelerating universe via entropy balance and maximization.
Treating the cosmological constant as pressure in black hole thermodynamics yields an extended dictionary with enthalpy, thermodynamic volume, and chemical-like phase transitions including Van der Waals behavior, reentrant transitions, and triple points.
